Worthing Cissbury division Girlguiding members take on Monopoly Run Live
Together with over 8,000 other Guides and Scouts from across the UK, they made their way around London buying and renting properties by visiting the locations on the traditional Monopoly board.
There were various additional challenges along the way that helped them to earn extra money – including taking team selfies at a bus stop, with a double pillar letter box and hugging a tree. Chance cards were issued meaning you might gain or lose your funds but you could get £200 by passing ‘Go’ every time you visited four properties.

Paulette Hamilton, leader at 2nd Worthing Brownies said: “It was a brilliant day. It was great to see so many Guides and Scouts in their uniforms having so much fun!”
These types of activities for young people in the Worthing community, would not be possible without the adult volunteers that provide their time to this charity. There are a range of different opportunities that Girlguiding can provide to adult volunteers.
